The article talks only about jet-propulsion “saucers”, but the Germans were also building real ‘anti-gravity’ saucers based on inventions of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943).

UFOs or “flying saucers” are man-made, not “alien space ships”

Following the wave of “UFO” sightings in early 1950’s, Professor Giuseppe Belluzzo (1875-1952), a scientist-engineer and a former Italian cabinet minister, who apparently personally worked in one of these German-Italian “flying saucer” projects in the 1940’s, was quoted in Italian and American newspapers saying:

“There is nothing supernatural or Martian about flying discs, but they are simply rational application of recent technique. ..some great power is now launching discs to study them.”

You can read more about Professor Belluzzo’s saucer project here and here.

Nikola Tesla’s “flying stove”

…’You should not be at all surprised, if some day you see me fly from New York to Colorado Springs in a contrivance which will resemble a gas stove and weigh as much. … and could, if necessary enter and depart through a window.’

Thus Nikola Tesla wrote to a Westinghouse Electric Company manager in 1912…

That could account for some of them, like those strange black triangles people occasionally spot hovering over interstate highways [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5897539/ns/technology_and_science-space/], or the secret technology Lockheed and martin allegedly has a hold of [http://www.ufo-blogger.com/2010/08/ufo-are-real-ben-rich-lockheed-skunk.html] but there’s certainly a much more paranormal/metaphysical element to the UFO phenomenon as well. The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis is giving way more to the Inter-dimensional hypothesis these days. People are even finding bizarre correlations between the effects of psychotropics and alleged “alien abductions.” [http://treurniet.ca/Ufo/AbductionReality.htm]

there’s still many aspects of the phenomenon that have yet to be explained.

still many?

0, zilch, nada has been explained. We can’t even agree that there is something to explain.

Yeah, I guess “explored” is more what I meant. But I believe there has been enough observed/documented incidents accumulated over the years to infer that there Is indeed “something to explain”, and I think it’s irrational to assume otherwise at this point. I just wish people were more open to discussion on the matter without the stigma surrounding the subject that’s been formed over the years. At least governments outside the US are starting to publicly acknowledge that it’s a real phenomena, regardless of its cause. French Aerospace’s Sigma/3AF commission is certainly more informative on the matter than NASA has been (save for certain apollo astronaut testimonies)

There’s definitely a phenomena. I agree with Jaques Vallee that it’s still too early for theories of any kind. We don’t have enough data to form anything. That’s coming from a astronomer who’s been investigating it for 50 odd years.

The problem is, people fill that absence of data with all sorts of nonsense and it gets ever more difficult for anyone to take it seriously.

The inter-dimensional theory is interesting. If you look at the picture of Aiwass(the entity that Aleister Crowley channeled) it resembles a grey.

Corerelation between Psychotropics and alien abductions? Bizarre? How about “They’re on drugs and are convinced they’re being abducted by aliens because they’re hallucinating.” Ever heard of Occam’s Razor?
